Now I'm Easy chords by Eric Bogle

D            D7                 G       *
For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky

   D                      *                          A7        *
Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty

          D                  D7       G                 D
Yes, this country's dust and mud, has seen my tears and blood

         *           A7               G    D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___



  D              D7              G       *
I married a fine girl when I was twenty

        D              *                  A7       *
But she died in giving birth when she was thirty

   D             D7           G                D
No Flying Doctor then, just a gentle old black gin

         *           A7               G    D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___


    D                D7         G         *
She left me with two sons and a daughter

      D                   *                  A7      *
And a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for water

      D                  D7              G                D
So my care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady

         *           A7               G    D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___


   D                D7                  G         *
My daughter married young, and went her own way

   D               *            A7       *
My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway

           D                 D7        G            D
So on this land I've made my own, I've carried on a-lone

         *           A7               G    D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___
